Villa Ibarra

I was invited to a wedding n the view is fantastic but the food in bistro is a lot different on reception (beef is tough, roasted pig is not that eatable so dry kind of recycled, soup is good, salad is fresh sorry didn’t take pictures coz of other privacy

Not worth it. 700 pesos for two small pieces of beef meat. We don't recommend dining here. Certainly a rip off.

I will not go back here unless I will get married again. This is only good for events. But not good as a hotel. The staffs are simply exhausted.

We just ate at their restaurant. Very nice location and view BUT VERY SLOW and poor service at the restaurant. It took them almost 1 hr.to serve our food and it's not even packed when we ate. And food isn't that good either. It's not that pricey though so that could be your incentive and the beautiful view of Taal on their balcony

Service: Very poor service. I think it's staff especially dinning area needs a bit more training.
Food:
Price: too pricey
Place: great view

Supremely disappointed. I booked for 4 persons (2 adults, 2 kids) with Booking.com.

According to the hotel, amenities is for 2 persons only. Also, free breakfast is for 2 only.

The staff was helpful though.

But I might do Air BnB next time.

We have booked the deluxe suite for 3 adults with Agoda. First thing: it is not a suite but just a room. Despite the confirmation for 3 adults there were only 2 beds, 2 breakfasts, 2 towels etc. After checking with front desk, there was nothing they could do except providing an extra mattress for another P1200 pushing the total price for one night to P7900/per night. Unacceptable of course! The room was up to standard, but very noisy especially the foot steps from above. For a hotel with such a price level the food in the restaurant is mediocre at best, Kare Kare almost without meat, orange juice just being Tang, fried eggs in the morning a complete fail. Overall: a complete disappointment. We will definitely not be staying there again.

Planned to have lunch at park ridge but unfortunately the place was full so we decided to walk and found villa ibarra. There was an ongoing prenup shoot but they're still accepting diners. We ordered large crispy pata and bulalo. Serving time took around 30min so we expected the food to be hot, but were not. Food was good, just not what we were expecting for its price. Since there's only 2 of us, we requested the left overs be packed. Was handed to us in plastic bag (expected there was a container since we agreed to pay additional charge but there's none). Service can be improved as well, not sure if it was just because we were the only diners that time that we did not feel the quality of service we were expecting from such a nice place.

If you are just looking for a room to stay for a good night sleep, then this is for you. Dont expect for a pool or a gym or a spacious hotel grounds. The walls are thin esp on the level floor room where the resto and piano area are located, so you can hear the noise, children screaming, footsteps etc.

Ukoy was good. Crispy Pata was small and the kare kare contained very little meat, more tripe.

Staff were friendly but not attentive. We had to knock on the kitchen door twice to find the wait staff.

It was just OK.

The Al Fresco area was superb. Had the chance to see a family of free-roaming Philippine Macaques up close in the trees. Food was OK but nothing fancy.

It's okay. We got the attic room because there was a balcony overlooking the taal. But the door to the balcony was shut from the outside, or at least was so hard to push and it wont budge. The noise from adjacent rooms, even from those on the lobby, can be heard from the room. Lacks sound proofing I guess. Using the spiral staircase was a bit exciting, but too taxing when you're carrying stuff up to or down from the room.

The hotel is good but the restaurant area does not have a exhaust. Thats why when they are cooking in the kitchen it smells in the dinning are.

Villa ibarra is an ideal place for intimate weddings and small private parties. Food is good enough and staff are all friendly and accomodating. It has an almost perfect view of the Taal volcano. They have just a few number of rooms available for guests. Parking space is not a problem since a guard is present to assist the visitors in parking their vehicle. It's also kid friendly. The function area allows the guests to roam freely in their al fresco garden enjoying the beautiful view of the Taal volcano.

It was okay, but certainly not worth for its price even on a holiday. Php8k for an ordinary 2 bedroom?

The view and location certainly helped, though.

Good views, conveniently located. Can improve the interior though, it was a bit messy when we visited to inquire about holding an event in the hotel

The food, the food and the food is amazingly great.the staff is wonderful too.the parking needs to be reconsidered.definitely a place to go to when in tagaytay.

The place is beautiful and clean, rooms are well sanitized and comfortable to sleep in. Food taste amazing and the staff are very very hospitable. My only issue is that there are signs that clearly say minors and children are not allowed due to the pandemic protocols yet they allowed children in, to which are very very noisey but that is just a personal peeve. Otherwise, the whole experience is great.

Stayed in the Honeymoon Suite with my partner, and it was just romantic. You have exclusive access to wonderful Tagaytay views. The particular room needs improvement in ensuring bug prevention. We encountered some insects and worms inside the room, but I guess it should be understandable given that the room is established in forest surroundings. Also, the room was lacking one more bathrobe as there were 2 of us, and no slippers. Best recommend to bring your own in case you also don't receive any.
